Things to do for June 23, 2011

The Weekender

Midnight Happy Hour, Pork Burgers and the Prom

Thursday

We’re sending you deep into the jungle... of WeHo—for a four-course dinner of wild game at Palihouse Courtyard Brasserie. (Oh, and we’re knocking 40% off your bill.) Plus, we’re stocking your Fourth of July cookout with 40% off cuts from Robinson’s Prime Reserve and getting you 40% off shades from Modo.

Vertical’s New Burger Night

We bet you could use a burger—call it a hunch. If this is a regular Thursday occurrence, head to Vertical for their new weekly burger night, with fancy Kobe, pork and bison patties on offer. And you might want some Beer-Battered Onion Rings and a beer flight. Call it another hunch.

Public Kitchen’s New $5 Happy Hour

If you’re calling it an early afternoon, burrow into the Roosevelt for a stool near the dancing bartendress. From 3 to 7pm, five regular menu items like Chickpea and Three Cheese Fritters will be priced at five bucks—as will beer, wine and a rotating cocktail.

Friday

LATE TO THE PARTY

Late-Night Deals at Wood and Vine

And speaking of happy hours, you wouldn’t mind one when it really counts—like from 11pm to 2am on a Friday. Sort of amazingly, Hollywood’s refined house of whiskey and waffles has heard your call—come by before closing for $4 California beers and $8 cocktails.

Cinefamily Goes to the Prom

Ah, prom. The spiked punch, the random DJ... the murderous telekinetic outcasts. Friday’s prom-themed double feature at the Silent Movie Theatre has all of the above, with a dance party between screenings of Carrie and Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II. We recommend a sky blue tux.

Sunday

MAID TO ORDER

Shaved Ice from a Meter Maid Truck

Instead of handing out parking tickets, one new meter maid truck is being more productive. Launching Sunday, Ice Ice Shavie will be serving you Hawaiian-style shaved ices—like the Que Bueno, with cucumber, cilantro, jalapeño and lime. Suggestion: book it for a party and stock up on tequila.
